One of America’s preeminent artists, Larry Poons embraces the chromatic worlds of music and color, creating a visual and emotional environment ripe with gesture, raw energy and improvisation. The artist was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1937 and was raised in New York. He studied music at the New England Conservatory before going on to pursue art at the Museum of Fine arts, Boston. In 1963, he had his first solo show at Richard Bellamy’s famed Green Gallery in New York City and received critical acclaim for his “Dot Paintings.” In 1969, he was the youngest artist featured in curator Henry Geldzahler’s landmark exhibition, New York Painting and Sculpture, 1940–1970. His complex style has evolved away from optical art to the intensely personal, abstract canvases that are on exhibit courtesy of the artist and Danese Gallery, New York City.
